L’Approche de l’AIE Pour La Prise de Décision dans Les Urgences de Santé Publique (FR)
L’Analyse Intégrée des Epidémies est née de la nécessité de recherche opérationnelle et multisectorielle pour informer les activités de réponse au cours de l’épidémie de Maladie à virus Ebola en 2018 dans l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). En 2020, cette collaboration multidisciplinaire s’est structurée autour d’une plateforme d’échange pour tous les partenaires du Réseau mondial d’alerte et d’action en cas d’épidémie (GOARN). Depuis, cette approche multidisciplinaire a été utilisée pour orienter les activités de réponse au cours de différentes urgences de santé publique, notamment des épidémies de peste, de choléra, de rougeole, de polio et de crise de malnutrition.
L’objectif de notre partenariat est de faciliter et encourager les communautés et les autorités sanitaires à concevoir des stratégies de Santé Publique responsables, redevables et efficaces reposant sur l’analyse de données objectives et multisectorielles. L’AIE adopte une approche holistique : des questions de recherche aux données recueillies ou consultées,

Key Considerations: Adherence to COVID-19 Preventive Measures in Greater Kampala, Uganda
This brief sets out key considerations for risk communications and community engagement (RCCE) to promote adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures in greater Kampala, Uganda. It looks at adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures, assesses the challenges to their adoption and outlines key considerations for partners working in RCCE and the wider COVID-19 emergency response. The brief responds to concern (as of March 2022) about COVID-19 transmission in informal urban areas in Uganda due to their high population density, limited sanitary infrastructure, and reported low uptake of vaccination. Ensuring effective communication and engagement with a series of preventative measures is essential in limiting the spread of COVID-19. The Ministry of Health and response partners have been proactive, however interventions and guidance for COVID-19 have taken limited account of social science research about the perceptions and practices related to COVID-19 regulations. This brief aims to address this gap so these data may be used to inform more effective and practicable guidance for vulnerable groups.
